SECOND SECTION
Hoosier Vagabond
I suppose you've heard people say a thousand times that “I won't pick up hitchhikers. It’s too dangerous nowadays. They might kill you.” Well, sometimes I pick up hitchhikers and sometimes I don't. It isn't governed in the slightest by any fear of getting killed, robbed or even punched in the nose. It is governed wholly by how I happen to feel at the moment of passing. I'm one of these guys who simply have to ride alone a certain percentage of the time. And so it was, coming out of Lafayette for Indianapolis the other evening, that I was late and the top was down and the sun was hot and I felt good and didn't want to listen to any stranger’s yapping. So I passed up hitchhikers. And as I bore down upon one fellow he motioned me down in a very commanding manner, but I didn't motion worth a doggone that day. Just as I passed, his face took on the most vicious look, and he screamed at the rushing car: “You dirty rat, you.”
” ” n I just happened to think of a nice little experience I had on that bus trip. In Chicage I had to send a telegram. I gave a bill to the girl in Western Union, and she wouldn't take it. The girl simply said it looked funny to her. So we examined it, and it looked funny to me too. It was sort of yellow instead of green, and the pictures didn't look natural somehow.
Why He Likes the West
So in Denver I decided to find out. I walked into a bank, approached one of these vice presidents or whatever they are at an outer desk, and said. “This bill has been turned down as counterfeit. Can you tell me whether it is or not?” So he looked at it, and then got out a big list of numbers from his drawer, and looked at it some more. and said he thought it was all right. But just to make sure he took it over to a cashier, who looked it all over and jerked it and looked up numbers, and he too said it was all right.
Our Town
WHEN IT CAME TIME to read “Vanity Fair” I distinctly recall that the character of Amelia Sedley
interested me far more than that of Becky Sharpe— probably for the reason that one of the best hired girls Mother ever had also had the same name. Our Amelia came to us from Teutopolis, a hamlet over in Illinois just this side of Effingham. Fifty years ago, I suspect, it was a pretty hard place to get to. Today you can’t miss it motoring to St. Louis. It has a big church with a steeple dominating the whole landscape. and back of the church is a building that looks something like a nunnery. I've never taken the time to investigate. I'll bet, though, that most of the people living around there are good Catholics. Chances are that our Amelia was a good Catholic. too, but for the life of me I can't remember. All 1 know is that she had the kind of good conscience it takes to make a good Catholic.
tJ Ah, Those Biscuits!
Of course, Mother looked for more than a good conscience in her hired girls. Our Amelia had that, too. She was especially good in the kitchen, I remember, and I still recall the kind of breakfast rolls she made. They were unlike anything around here, and I guess if I'd dig into it I'd discover that they, too. were something indigenous to Teutopolis. Among Amelia's other gifts was her remarkable ability to finish her work around 3 o'clock every afternoon which gave her a two-hour rest period until it came time to tackle supper. That's when she did her reading and writing She sent a letter to her folks every week. It looked like a diary because she wrote a little every day. As for her reading, she subscribed to two papers.
My Day
HYDE PARK, Monday.—Because of lack of space, I had very little chance to tell you af our delightful evening at the Berkshire Symphonic Festival on Saturday. The drive up was through lovely country, and we found a grassy knoll under a shady tree not far from the road where we ate our picnic supper. The cows coming back from pasture disturbed us for a few minutes and one cow took great interest in the shiny thermos bottle with its red cap. I think she would have shared our supper if I had not remembered how I shooed the cows along the road in my childhood, and started these off toward their ultimate destination in the next field.
2a § At the cencert we found the chairs comfortable, and the big hall, which is open on all sides, very cool despite the 9000 people assembled. We settled down with real anticipation to hearing Beethoven's Sixth Symphony. I have heard the pastoral plaved before, but the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the conductor. Dr. Sergei Koussevitzky, made of it something entirely new to me. I was happy to have had an opportunity after it was over to go back and talk with this great

‘Give Us a Factory’ By Chariés T. Lucey
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 —Fired by demands of local Chambers of Commerce and other civie groups, a determined campaign is being directed at the National Defense Advisory Commission and the War Department influence the location of the new munitions plants which will cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Members of Congress daily receive scores of letters from the people back home importuning them to “get us a factory.” Many cities have sent their own representatives here to lobby their cause. Some Congressmen have pressed War Department officials persistently with claims of the advantages offered by their own districts. A group of Midwestern Senators who called yesterday on William S. Knudsen, head of the production division of the Defense Commission, asking greater recognition of the interior of the country in the location of plants, renewed their demands today at the War Deepartment. Both the Defense Commission and the War Department are attempting to make it plain that considerations of politics and civic pride cannot weigh in these matters. Officials say they must be concerned, rather, with the strategic importance of locations in relation to defense needs, sources of labor, raw materials, electric power, and transportation facilities.

"
Choice Up to Army Locations of plants—for explosives, armaments of virtually all types, forging and machining shells, shellloading, proving grounds—are determined by the Army, with the Defense Commission acting in ean advisory capacity and with final approval vested in the President. Approximately $832,000,000-in War Department appropriations and in funds and contract-authoriza-tions given Mr. Roosevelt with great latitude as to its spending, is available for plant construction.

” ” ” { Recently I have been playing some golf here in Indianapolis with a girl named Patricia Burton. It! isn't that golf means anything to me one way or the other—but, as the big business men say, it gets you out in the open, and furthermore I enjoy just trailing | around looking at Miss Burton. | We make quite a pair on the golf field, if that is| what you call it. She is unquestionably the bestdressed golfer in Indiana, and she can't hit the side of a barn. I am without doubt the worst-dressed | golfer in America, and I can't hit the sidewalk with
my hat. ”
A Discerning Young Lady
The only difference in the quality of our golf is] that she has no excuse whatever, while I have the] excuse that I can't shoot right-handed, and we haven't been able to find any left-handed clubs. 1 hope we never do. We play on a beautiful, but funny little course out north of town called Madden's. It isn't big enough to pasture three healthy cows, but it's all right, It] has only one fairway and six greens. Three of the] greens vou play twice, in order to total nine holes. | Golfers criss-cross back and forth over this same] fairway, going to different holes, until sometimes it | looks like the 5 o'clock rush at Grand Central Sta-| tion. Nobody thinks of waiting till the group ahead | of him has shot, or even of yelling fore. Because a fellow feels silly screaming “fore” when he khows| that nine times out of 10 his ball won't go 10 feet | anyhow. Miss Burton and I religiously get a scorecard each | time we start, and wrinkle our brows keeping the correct tally. But we have an unwritten agreement that we stop keeping score after 65, so from the fourth hole on we just abandon the card and have fun. In addition to her golf, Miss Burton has another odd hobby. She does not read this column. Yessir, a personal friend, and she won't read my column at all. So you can see that although her golf is questionable, her literary taste is excellent. Fortunately for me, I have few such discerning friends.
